According to Miss Info, this is from Cam’s new album, Crime Pays, out May 5. No download, just this YouTube stream. eskay says it’s on a mixtape you can get here.

Cam keeps saying there will be no Dipset reunion. I have my doubts, no matter how much he insists it won’t happen. I wonder if he’ll fall out of the spotlight if people start to believe that. People my age and older (21+) will always have a spot for Killa, but I don’t think many kids younger than 21 are Cam stans like that. Either way, I hope he sticks around, there aren’t many more people who are more entertaining in hip-hop.

I was reading the latest XXL today, particularly Cam’s cover article and one thing stood out to me above anything else: Cam has class. I will repeat that; He’s a classy guy. I know that may seem hard to believe considering how flamboyant he is, with magazine covers like this…

But he handled the questions about Jim Jones and the rest of Dipset with very sincere responses, and refused to slam any of the dudes. If anything, he expressed concern for them, the way a big brother would. No matter what though, he always insisted he’s in control. There were times where he was pressed for answered by the interviewer, but he never flipped (at least not in the version we’re all reading). It was hard not to appreciate his honesty about the experience of his absence due to his mom’s illness.

By the way, I’m not a Cam stan. That disclaimer is probably needed any time Cam gets praised, huh?

Of course the interview starts with the typical questions about where he’s been, but he also touches on the rest of Dipset, their relationship with Dame, and how you can’t buy the promotion he’s been getting. He ain’t lying either, everyone wondered where he was and he didn’t have to do a damn thing. Next time I hear someone say this dude never mattered, I will may have to questions where they’ve been the past 5 years.

The disparity between the hype and hate makes me wonder: Is Cam still on your radar?
